The Impact Backlight Stand Base is a sturdy, all-steel lighting accessory that is ideal for low-angle applications such as mounting lighting fixtures and other accessories close to the floor or at table level. A 5/8" Baby receiver is built-in for mounting a light stand riser. With a footprint diameter of 20 inches, the rubber-tipped, tri-leg base provides stability and prevents slipping on a smooth surface. It sets up quickly, and the legs fold flat for easy moving and storage.
